Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia: North Macedonia’s former parliament speaker, intelligence chief and two ex-ministers were sentenced on Monday to six years in prison for plotting the 2017 attack on parliament in Skopje. Several MPs, including opposition leader Zoran Zaev who is now the Balkan country’s prime minister, were severely beaten when a crowd of demonstrators stormed the parliament on April 27, 2017.
